About The Role

In this mobile optometry position, you’ll provide essential eye care services directly onsite at senior living facilities throughout Chicagoland (3 weeks/month) and travel 1 week/month to Central or Southern Illinois (with covered expenses and stipend).

Key Responsibilities Include

  • Comprehensive eye exams for aging adults
  • Refracting, diagnosing, and managing ocular disease
  • Collaborating with facility teams to ensure continuity of care
  • Maintaining a friendly, respectful, and professional presence in each setting
  • You’ll be part of a collaborative team of physicians who consistently report professional fulfillment, financial rewards, and meaningful connections through their work.

About Ovitsky Vision Care

Founded in 1983 by Dr. Charles S. Ovitsky, we were built on the belief that long-term care residents deserve compassionate, high-quality eye care delivered with dignity and respect. We continue to honor that mission by bringing expertise and heart-centered care directly to the communities we serve.

Our values of compassion, respect, integrity, and excellence guide every patient interaction—and every team member’s experience.

  • Passionate about serving older adults and underserved populations
  • Experienced in refracting, diagnosing, and managing ocular pathologies
  • Adaptable, collaborative, and comfortable working independently
  • Licensed (or eligible) to practice in Illinois

Prior experience in long-term care or geriatrics is a plus, but not required.
